275,000$ asking price. We are moving to help family so here is our house. 1800 SQ with finished 558 SQ basement. 3 bedroom 2.75 bath, large garage in need of repair small 1 1/2 story garden barn. Lots of fence, large garden with berries and the start of vine crops. Close to a 1/4 acre, 1.36 acres total, top and bottom parking close to Seattle and suburbs. We are located on the back side of lake tapps in bonney lake. We are currently working on sheet rock and moving cars. We have run a small CSA for 4 years, as added income. We may be flexible in financing terms, also would consider possible lease to own. There is also the possibility of working with an individual about a lower price if we don't complete all the planned work. We are looking at about may or July for putting it on the market. Get in early and possibly get a better deal. Current market value when complete is 325,000-350,000. The land is worth 190,000 possible market value with upgrade of 425,000+. The Seattle area has a large CSA and organic market. Near to Seattle metro area but with views of the mountains and country living.

Thank you
Brian

We haven't put it on the market yet, we are cleaning up and doing some work inside still. Wanted to give a permie first chance. If you are interested contact me. Also there is the other thread with some of the work we have done on the garden. We plan to put it on the market in a few months then the price will go up. We will also change things for the market to increase sales appeal. so get in early we may consider more work being done. With a payout at sale.

Thanks
Brian

We have 2 miniature horses, with fencing and hay barn for the animals. There is also electric fence, and more area to be fenced for a total of one acre of garden and animal pasture. We have had several offers but are still taking offers. Not many urban areas with this amout of land, and house size. There is the possibility of a rentable unit if permitted as a ADU. Contact for further information, and we can do any work to pass bank approval.

Thank you
Brian

Looks like we may have a solid buyer, just waiting for all of the paperwork on the offer. Now it's going to be where are we going to move. We just looked at a few homes in the Chelan, Wenatchee area. But it seems to be a little slim for homes 200k-250k. We have 40 acres but it is too far from family. So we are looking at City and country properties, we may look at building not sure now. We are also entertaining possible farther north. The adventure continues.

Thank you
Brian

Well all moved and done. The house is sold closed and we are on the hunt for a new homestead. Look forward to hearing about the new purchase and every step we take.
